INTERNSHIP REPORT: (Final Report) The Summer Internship Report is the research report that the student has to prepare on the project assigned by the organization. (In case a student is not assigned a specific research project in the organization, he has to select any one aspect of the organization and prepare a research report on it). In case, there is no layout prescribed by the organization the following components should be included in the report:
 Cover Page or Title

The title page should contain Project Title; Students Name; Programme; Year and Semester and Name of the Faculty Guide. (Cover Page: , Title Page: given at the end of this report)  Acknowledgements Acknowledgment of any advisory or financial assistance received in the course of work may be given. It is incomplete without the students signature.

 Abstract A good "Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully informative. The first paragraph should state what was accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not have to be an entire summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and results of the project. It should not exceed more than 1000 words.  Table of Contents Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with those in the text.

 Introduction Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the structure of the rest of the report should be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the reader, so excessive details should be avoided.  Materials and Methods ( Research Methodology) This section should aim at experimental designs, materials used (wherever applicable). Methodology should be mentioned in details including modifications undertaken, if any. It includes organization site(s), sample, instruments used with its validation, methodology followed .  Results and Discussions Present results, discuss and compare these with those from other workers, etc. In writing this section, emphasis should be laid on what has been performed and achieved in the course of the work, rather than discuss in detail what is readily available in text books. Avoid abrupt changes in contents from section to section and maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and closing paragraph in every chapter could be included to aid in smooth flow. Note that in writing the various sections, all figures and tables should as far as possible be next to the associated text, in the same orientation as the main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or captions. All major equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary, do not write in point form. While presenting the results, write at length about the various statistical tools used in the data interpretation. The result interpretation should be simple but full of data and statistical analysis. This data interpretation should be in congruence with the written objectives and the inferences should be drawn on data and not on impression. Avoid writing straight forward conclusion rather, it should lead to generalization of data on the chosen sample. Results and its discussion should be supporting/contradicting with the previous research work in the given area. Usually one should not use more than two researches in either case of supporting or contradicting the present case of research.  Conclusion(s) & Recommendations A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome of the work is mentioned briefly. Check that your work answers the following questions: y Did the research project meet its aims (check back to introduction for stated aims)? y What are the main findings of the research? y Are there any recommendations? y Do you have any conclusion on the research process itself?  Implications for Future Research This should bring out further prospects for the study either thrown open by the present work or with the purpose of making it more comprehensive.  Appendices The Appendices contain material which is of interest to the reader but not an integral part of the thesis and any problems that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.  References References should include papers, books etc. referred to in the body of the report. These should be written in the alphabetical order of the author's surname. The titles of journals preferably should not be abbreviated; if they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally recognised system.
